Alright so im using the DC that 5card sent me(thank you again) anyways i was vaping it heavy last night and just from my usual usage i felt like my batts pcb should have kicked in. so specifics first before i get into the problem
Using BLoodmoon VMU
firing 1.5 steel DC at 4v's

on the vmu it has a voltage remaining and when i flipped the switch it showed it to be about 6.5 between the 2 14500s. normally i get a cuttoff of 6.8-7v remaining using ikv lr 306 and 901 atties.
so idk if it fried the pcb on my batt or if the two 3 ohm coils are tricking it.
so i ask what is the average cut off voltage for 14500s when they need to be recharged. id slap it on my multi meter to check it but the black lead is broke so no help there.
so let me know if my worry is just in my head or something i should check on regularly

Not sure of the circuitry on the VMU but the cutoff on protected batts is around 3V which is above their lowest low V of 2.5. OTOH IMRs do not have a protection cicrcuit and the vaper must be cognisant of this fact and not vape below 3V. This is not hard as vapour production seems wimpy around 3.2-3V.
